That is very sweet. Mostly because it is simple and oh so heartfelt. I think this year for my sweetie of 22 years I’m going to back him something yummy and fun. Normally we eat very healthy (I do the cooking) and I don’t do a lot of sweet things, which he loves. I’ve been a little tough on him lately for sneaking in oreos or a bag of cheetos (and such) into the shopping cart. This will be a great surprise for him that I’m actually providing him with some homemade (with love) goodness. He does deserve it.

I love that picture of you guys 🙂 My hubby and I had our first date on V-Day 2003, we had never even spoken to each other before, but had seen each other at my work and church. I was in LOVE with him and would say “Will you marry me?!” as he drove out of the bank drive thru every Friday (I was a teller:) But yet we had never had a conversation other than me saying “Thank you have a nice day” as I sent him his cash! Then the day before V-Day he showed up in the drive thru with a rose and a note asking me if I had plans for Valentines Day. On our first anniversary the next year we were about to be married in just 2 more months, I look back and realize how CRAZY that was now!! 😉 But God has blessed us with 9 wonderful years together and an adorable story to tell our kids one day 🙂

So sweet.
I did a version of this, a jar with 365 slips of pink paper, with reasons why I loved my boyfriend. But…I was also planning our wedding – a very DIY wedding. I’ve still never found the jar with slips. Must be packed away in an unopened box. When I finally find it -it will be a surprise for him AND for me!

Well, I don’t have a “person”, but you give me hope that there are keepers out there! I think that is one of the reasons I love your blog so much. It affirms love! I do have some pretty awesome kids and girlfriends though, so maybe some home-made chocolates for each of them!

Awwww…super sweet! We’re still unpacking from a recent move and when I found some old cards we’d given each other, I showed them to my husband (of 34+ years!) and we laughed and relived some great memories all over again. That’s a super silly, but fun, way to reuse 😉

I love the vintage you too! Trying to think of a heartfelt Valentine’s gift for my Valentine of almost 30 years! Maybe a surprise note in his briefcase that he’ll see when he gets to work — still not sure yet! But thanks for your idea!
